The Provincial Police and the Department of Transport Inspectorate have launched a peak patrol and control campaign during the Tet holiday, mobilizing forces and vehicles to organize patrols, control, and strictly handle violations that are the direct causes of traffic accidents and strictly handle means of transporting goods and passengers that violate the Road Traffic Law such as: carrying oversized and overloaded goods, vehicles that have expired, no badges, wrong itinerary, transportation schedule, etc.
Of which, the Provincial Police discovered and recorded 24,100 cases of administrative violations, transferred to the Treasury to collect fines of over 17 billion VND, and temporarily revoked the driving licenses of 982 cases. The Department of Transport Inspectorate handled 79 cases, fined and paid to the State Treasury 135.7 million VND.
The conference also pointed out problems such as limited traffic awareness of vehicle drivers; some bus companies still arbitrarily raise ticket prices higher than regulations, carry more passengers than prescribed, and run on the wrong route; there are still phenomena of vehicles stopping, parking, picking up and dropping off passengers outside bus stations; some vehicles still speed, recklessly overtake, and compete for passengers...
From there, delegates focused on exchanging and discussing solutions on state management of controlling and tightening transportation activities; the responsibility of businesses in promoting and improving the ethics and culture of drivers, improving the quality of transportation activities to ensure traffic order and safety, and better serving the travel needs of the people.
